Fulham Close in on Real Madrid Duo After MedicalsAmbitious Business at Craven CottageFulham are on the verge of completing two eye catching signings from Real Madrid, with Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios undergoing medicals ahead of permanent moves. Meanwhile, highly rated midfielder Palacios, 18, will cost approximately £8.5 million after making his senior Real Madrid debut in January. “New Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has been a driving force behind these two deals,” thanks to his close knowledge of both players from his time at Real Madrid. Finishing as top scorer at the Club World Cup is no small achievement, and at 22 he appears ready for the next stage of his career. Fulham supporters have every reason to anticipate an exciting new chapter if these transfers deliver on their considerable promise.
